Eric,

Believe it or not, they're a little bit less than what the local shops (and dealer) charge. When you take into consideration the overhead costs of running a shop...it all makes sense.

I've done it myself...installed parts myself to save money. Only thing that comes into play is if something goes wrong...you have to pay out of your own pocket (no warranty on labor). Some things I leave up to other shops...installing my differential gears: 12mo/Unlimted mileage warranty from the shop on parts and labor.) ;)
